Easy Way Grinding EXP

Here, you can fast leveling with this build. You must get True Ending first and in Post Game to get all this Devour and EXP Bonus build and not worried about the little sisters. Devour build for like 1 hit kill if devour rate is highest.

• Use accessory that increase devour rate : Dragon God's Necklace ([DLC] Devour Rate increases by 10%) or Dragon's Choker (Devour Rate increases by 5%).
  
• Use Golden Time formation : reduces your stats but EXP Rate increases by 1.5 times.
  
• Use Devour skill Deep or Perfect Bite : Deep Bite increase devour rate 20%, Perfect Bite increase devour rate 30%.
  
• Equip Devour passive skill : Devouring Arts (5%) and Secrets of Devouring (10%).
  
• Equip Leviathan : Leviathan can hit an enemy 8 times which is perfect for enemies with high evasion.
  
• Equip Exp passive skill : EXP bonus 3% increased and EXP bonus 5% increased.
  
• Equip Exp accessory : Love Ring (Exp bonus 3% increased) **Equip this to all characters except character who has equiped Dragon God's Necklace and Dragon's Choker**.
  
• Change difficulty to INFERNO (Buy a DLC difficulty).
  
• Best Spot for Grinding Exp : East Star Temple (Postgame only)

Drop :

• Perfect Bite and Secrets of Devoiring from Holy Dragon Core (Holy Cave, Star's Womb top/deep).
  
• Devouring Arts from Great Worm Core (South Star Temple lower/upper, Wilderness of Atonement).
  
• Golden Time from Book of Golden Time (obtained from the Holy Dragon Eyes quest)
  
• Leviathan from Pyutone Core (Star's Womb top/deep, East Star Temple lower)

Prevent Madness

Here are the percentages, that will trigger the madness scenes :

• After Chapter 2 : 15% madness
  
• After Chapter 4 : 30% madness
  
• After Chapter 5 : 45% madness
  
• After Chapter 8 : 60% madness
  
• After Chapter 10 : 75% madness. This locks the madness route and will eventually turn to 100%.

Making the wrong conversation choices : These actually can significantly raise your character's madness levels. You will want to pay attention to these when you are presented with conversation choices from Chapter 1 to 10 except Chapter 6. To avoid that happening then here are the right choices you must picked :

• Chapter 1 : Not good.
  
• Chapter 2 : I want to lift the curse.
  
• Chapter 3 : You should be a little more patient.
  
• Chapter 4 : I don’t know.
  
• Chapter 5 : Sorry.
  
• Chapter 6 : -
  
• Chapter 7 : Yeah, I’m fine.
  
• Chapter 8 : We can’t do it.
  
• Chapter 9 : Let’s go after her.
  
• Chapter 10 : Why did you save me?

Don't let your dragon bar of the little sisters full or make them mad (mad affinity level) because you don't give them Dragon Meat and Dragon Blood. You will want to pay attention to these when you are staying too long in Dungeon or how long you battle with enemy.

Don't let your all characters dies and get Game Over!

Don't use Dragon Skill, You will want to pay attention to these when they are transform into dragon and background is Red. If you see the background is Normal color, you be able to using Dragon Skill.

Ending Route

MAD ENDING

Kill 3 Little Sisters and reach over 75% or 100% Madness level before defeat Corberia or Final Chapter.

NORMAL ENDING

Kill 1 or 2 Little Sisters while maintaining your Madness level below 75% or 60% before defeat Corberia or Final Chapter.

CHARACTER ENDING

Have 3 Little Sisters alive while maintaining your Madness level below 75% or 60% and have max affinity level for Minessa, Karikaro, Laponette, Charlotta, Faria before defeat Corberia or Final Chapter.

NOTE : You can see 1 character ending only, if you want another character ending, use Hell Mushrooms to reduces their affinity level and keep 1 character have max affinity level. You can see this when True Ending.

TRUE ENDING

Have 3 Little Sisters alive while maintaining your Madness level below 75% or 60% before defeat Corberia or Final Chapter.

ALL ENDINGS IN 1 PLAYTHROUGH

You can get all endings in 1 playthrough. You need 2 saves data, one save before battle with Corberia or before Final Chapter and one at the beginning of Final Chapter.

• First save data (Before battle with Corberia or before Final Chapter) :
  Try to get Mad, Normal, and True Ending like guide above. (Don't save at the same data save after this, except True Ending!)
  
• Second save data (At the beginning of Final Chapter) :
  Try to get Character Ending like guide above (This must be get True Ending first)

[Aximili]

There's one point that is not clear if i want to get all endings in 1 playthrough.

Getting the characters endings and the true ending is easy enough, but if i also want the ability to get both the madness ending and the normal ending from the same save, i need some madness already before going out of my way to kill the little sisters.

About how many mad answers do i have to give to be at a good enough point that killing 1 little sister doesn't push me above the 75% threshold to get the normal ending but that killing more than 1 does and get me the madness ending?

[Meissner_Effect]

Thanks for the great guide! Just a minor correction: the Madness Ending has nothing to do with the little sisters and can be completed with all three sisters happy and alive. The dragon forms of Monet, Chiquita, and Pio can be encountered on the Normal Ending if you either let all three starve or overfeed them into dragons. The Madness Ending is solely based on the madness percentage which is heavily influenced by the choices made in the game. Things like whole-party deaths, dragon attacks in berserker mode, and failed boss attempts do very little to increase madness even though there is a message saying madness increases.

[GelonBefall]

Thanks for you patient! I have been in the chapter 10, and it is not far to complete it. I have learn all above what trouble me. Thank you.

[༺ Zephyrodai ༻]

you can watch my playthrough here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30goR1Ir9DE&list=PLRj4Qf9FNbXORsQQdGp2-OjQqt6xa_I8b&index=34

[༺ Zephyrodai ༻]

@GelonBefall : give them dragon meat too much until dragon bar full or make them mad with you, they will become dragon, you can make them become dragon whenever you want..

the story lead you to defeat Corberia, after that you will go to final chapter.

[GelonBefall]

Excuse me, could you tell me when will my sisters become the dragons? Whether was the dragon bar full they would become dragons, or they merely become it after I defeat Corberia?
Beyond that, If would I have to battle with Corberia in any ending? And if I defeat Corberia, will the game enter the final chapter?
Thanks for answering.

[༺ Zephyrodai ༻]

@Olden_bread : just in case, make 2 saves data before do that

[Olden_bread]

@༺ Zephyrodai ༻ Thx!

[༺ Zephyrodai ༻]

@Olden_bread : hmm.. I didn't try yet, I'm playing with normal difficult..
if you want an achievement clear the game with hard difficult, you can get it easily, just change the difficulty to hard before final boss and beat the final boss, you can get the achievement.
don't worry, you will not get penalty

[Olden_bread]

Any tips on taking down Corberia on hard first playthrough? Despite spamming water spells she just refuses to die, while my team runs out of SP. My team is lv42-40 now, and I am afraid to grind bc little ones are close to limit.
